Since I know we're all keeping an eye on the wood thrushes, I'll add that their
numbers at Mammoth Cave and at my house 20 miles away are normal or slightly up.
Anybody short on field sparrows, or is it just me?

Mississippi Kites are being seen regularly at three different areas of the
refuge.
Little Blue Herons, Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons are foraging in the
wet fields. Two Louisiana Waterthrush and one American Redstart were caught in
a net during a bat survey in the Sharpe-Elva area.
At the (MAPS) station (Monitoring Avian Productivity and Survivorship) we are
into mid season with 4 sessions completed. Capture are slightly lower this
year. Wood Thrush have been obviously absent in the woods with one netted this
season. We have processed 79 birds, 31 were recaptures from previous years.
I have also noted that Wood Thrush numbers seem down as I've paddled around
Blood River.
